The music, scripture, prayers, teaching, and practice of our liturgy tells a story about who we are and what we believe. Liturgy forms us, but it is not meant to stay within the walls of a Sunday service. The story we rehearse together is meant to be lived out in the ordinary moments of our lives. So, it is good to remember why we do what we do and consider if our liturgy is forming us to become more like Jesus. We are not called merely to rehearse the liturgy. We are called to live it.

In this series, we will explore how the liturgy we practice together shapes us. We will take a closer look at elements of our worship gatherings and ask what kind of story they are inviting us into. Then we will consider how we might live out that story in the small moments of our everyday lives – so we may be formed by Jesus to be like Jesus for the sake of the world.

This week, we considered the practice of confession. Recognizing how confession is a practice of surrender which free us to live in the truth of our identities as God's beloved children.

This week, we explored three questions about liturgy. Why do we intermingle prayers and scripture with song? How does this form of worship help us show up as we are with one another? How does it recalibrate us to the way of Jesus and remind us of who God is and what God has done?

This week, we considered the invitation of generosity. We explored the radical love and grace of God, and how our identity as children of a generous God invites us to embody that generosity to the world.
